INTERIM STUDY REPORT
Common Education Committee
Rep. Ann Coody, Chairman
Oklahoma House of Representatives
Interim Study 12-063, Rep. Sally Kern
September 27, 2012
Student rights to privacy and education reform
John Kraman
State Department of Education, executive director, student data and information system
John.Kraman@sde.ok.gov
o The State Department of Education collects data because of federal requirements.
o The department is transitioning from a system that took student counts to a system that
tracks other data. This system gives educators more capabilities. For example,
administrators can see where a student has gone if he or she leaves school or see if the
student dropped out.
o The newer system will include scores and assessment data.
o This spring the department started its early warning indicator through the system. This
allows administrators and teachers to know a student is there and has behavioral issues,
absences and whether he or she is passing assessments.
o Right now data is only shared between the department and districts and the P20 Council.
o The department is working on a privacy policy.

o The P20 Council has expanded beyond the bounds of its original purpose created in
SB222.
o The council has gone from collecting data for prekindergarten through age 20 educational
data to tracking subjective personal data about students.
o ROPE believes that collection of data is good but should be kept on a local level.
o There is a federal law prohibiting a national database and we should not be sending data
across state lines.
Ginger Tinney
Professional Oklahoma Educators, executive director

o The cost to the state must be considered when discussing a student data system.
